So Father Mur, would you tell us what brought you to Ordination?

Study of philosophy. I wanted to study philosophy and I wanted to study classical philosophy. I did not want to study modern philosophy. I wanted to study Aristotle primarily. A lot of reasons for that, but I'm going to keep those to myself. I was interested in studying law and I wanted all of the lawyers that I knew, friends of our family, all had degrees in philosophy.

That's the way it was then.

So you went to Rome, not to be a priest, but to be a lawyer, basically.

I went to Rome to study philosophy.

To become a lawyer.

And then you go to the Mexican college, which is the Mexican residence.

You meet Marini.

He is vital to your decision to become a priest.

And then who were you ultimately ordained for, Father?

I encapsulized that beautifully.

I was ordained for a diocese in Mexico called San Juan de los Lagos. It was part of Guadalajara and just two

years before I was ordained they split Guadalajara into two parts, Guadalajara being one

and San Juan de los was being the other and the bishop of Guadalajara, Archbishop of Guadalajara,

went to San Juan de Lu Lagos and he invited me to study and be ordained for his diocese. But it was with

the idea of staying in Rome. It wasn't with the idea of going to Mexico. I see. For your whole life,

that was kind of the idea. The thing is that to be ordained a priest, you need a bishop.

And this bishop was willing to ordain me and to gift me, if you will, to the Holy See.

I see.

To work with Marini.

Okay. And you would be still teaching at the Mexican college, or would you be working in the Holy See?

Teaching days would be up.
